英語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的語(yǔ)態(tài)主要分為兩種:即主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)和被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)強(qiáng)調(diào)主語(yǔ)是謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)作的執(zhí)行者, 二者為主動(dòng)關(guān)系。被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)強(qiáng)調(diào)主語(yǔ)是謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)作的承受者, 二者為被動(dòng)關(guān)系。如:I have done the job.(主動(dòng)關(guān)系) The job has been done. (被動(dòng)關(guān)系)
一、被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)的構(gòu)成:
被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)由助動(dòng)詞be加及物動(dòng)詞的過去分詞構(gòu)成。被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)可以用于各種時(shí)態(tài), 高考主要考查以下八種:
1.一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài):am/is/are+過去分詞。例如:
The song is often sung by children.
2.一般過去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài):was/were+過去分詞。例如:
The house was built in 2000.
3.一般將來時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài):will/shall be+過去分詞。例如:
Cars will be taken by railway to many parts of the country.
4.過去將來時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài):would/should+be+過去分詞。例如:
Mr Li said that he would be invited to visit America before long.
5.現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài):am/is/are+being+過去分詞。例如:
The case is being investigated.
6.過去進(jìn)行時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài):was/were+being+過去分詞。例如:
Mr Li was in hospital. When we went to see him, he was being operated on.
7.完成時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài):have/has/had+been+過去分詞。例如:
①The letters have been posted.
②He told me that the work had been finished.
8.帶情態(tài)動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài):情態(tài)動(dòng)詞+be+過去分詞。例如:
①Nothing can be done about this.
②He should be praised by the teacher.
9.被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)除常用be+過去分詞外, 還可用get+過去分詞。這種結(jié)構(gòu)多用在口語(yǔ)中, 高考???。例如:
①Hundreds of people get killed every year by traffic.
②The boy got hurt on his way to school.
二、用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)時(shí)的意義:
1.不知道或無必要指出行為、動(dòng)作的執(zhí)行者(無須加by短語(yǔ))。如:
①Football is played all over the world.
②Color TV sets are sold in that shop.
2.突出和強(qiáng)調(diào)行為或動(dòng)作的承受者時(shí)。如:
①History is made by the people.
②The wounded soldiers have been saved by those people.
3.有時(shí)主語(yǔ)較長(zhǎng), 宜后置。如:Its said that they have won the game.
三、使用動(dòng)詞被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)時(shí)應(yīng)注意的事項(xiàng):
1.短語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)要注意不可丟失其附加的介詞、副詞或短語(yǔ)。如:look at, laugh at, send for, call on, carry out, take care of等。 例如:
①The data is often referred to.
②My sister is taken care of by Grandma.
2.不及物動(dòng)詞沒有被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。如:appear, belong, remain, happen, occur, escape, break out等。例如:
①The Anti-Japanese War was broken out in 1937. (錯(cuò)誤)
The Anti-Japanese War broke out in 1937. (正確)
②At last, my dream was come true. (錯(cuò)誤)
At last, my dream come true. (正確)
3.連系動(dòng)詞用主動(dòng)形式表達(dá)被動(dòng)的含義。 如:
①表示感官的連系動(dòng)詞, 如:smell, taste, sound, feel, look, seem等, 這類動(dòng)詞只能用主動(dòng)形式表達(dá)被動(dòng)的含義。如: Mr Li looks quite young. 又如:His health seems to be better.
②表示持續(xù)狀態(tài)的動(dòng)詞, 如stay, remain等,也不用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài), 它們的被動(dòng)意義也要用主動(dòng)的形式來表達(dá)。如:
Much work remains to be done. 又如:The window stayed open all the night.
③prove, turn out作連系動(dòng)詞, 表“結(jié)果,證明”。例如:
This meeting proved/turned out to be a success.
這次會(huì)議證明是一次成功的會(huì)議。
4.說明商品,產(chǎn)品或工具自身所具有的性能或內(nèi)在屬性的動(dòng)詞, 如sell(well/badly); wash(well/badly); write(well/badly); cut(well/badly)等, 這類動(dòng)詞不用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)(不表達(dá)此意時(shí), 則另當(dāng)別論)。如:
①The book sells well. 這本書賣得很好。
②This knife cuts well. 這把刀切起來很鋒利。
5.need, want, require以及be worth…之后的V-ing不用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài), 要用主動(dòng)的形式表達(dá)被動(dòng)的含義。如:
①This book is well worth reading.
②The flower needs watering.
6.動(dòng)詞不定式的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)要注意的問題。
(1)動(dòng)詞不定式與被修飾的名詞構(gòu)成動(dòng)賓關(guān)系, 又和句子的主語(yǔ)構(gòu)成主謂關(guān)系;在“主語(yǔ)+be+形容詞(如hard, easy, difficult, good, impossible, important等)+不定式”句型中,當(dāng)主語(yǔ)是不定式的邏輯賓語(yǔ)時(shí),不定式用主動(dòng)形式表達(dá)被動(dòng)意義。如:
①I have an important meeting to attend.
②The math problem is hard to work out.
(2)There be句型中,通常用不定式的主動(dòng)形式表達(dá)被動(dòng)的意義。如:
There is lots of difficulty to face in the future.
(3)有些動(dòng)詞不定式的被動(dòng)意義用主動(dòng)形式表達(dá)是固定用法,如:to blame(應(yīng)受譴責(zé)); to let(出租)等。如:
In this matter he seems to be in no way to blame.
在這件事情上, 看來他沒有什么責(zé)任。
7.一詞多義的動(dòng)詞在用作某一特定的詞義時(shí)是不及物的, 不能用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài); 反之則可以用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài), 應(yīng)視具體情況而定。如decline做及物動(dòng)詞時(shí), 意為“拒絕; 謝絕”。如:The invation of the TV was declined by the famous singer. decline作不及物動(dòng)詞時(shí), 意為“衰退; 減弱; (物價(jià)等)下跌”。如:The prices are declining.
8.有些動(dòng)詞形式上是被動(dòng)的, 但含義上是主動(dòng)的。例如:
①He was dressed in red at that time.
②The girl was lost in the forest.
③The boy was seated in the chair.
9.在使役動(dòng)詞make以及感官動(dòng)詞see, hear…等動(dòng)詞被動(dòng)形式后面出現(xiàn)的作主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)的不定式須加不定式符號(hào)“to”。 如:
The teacher made Jim answer it again.(主動(dòng))
Jim was made to answer it again. (被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài), 加to)
10.賓語(yǔ)為反身代詞時(shí),不用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài),只用主動(dòng)形式,如:
The man introduces himself as Mr Li.
11..注意系表結(jié)構(gòu)和被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)的區(qū)別。系表結(jié)構(gòu)表明主語(yǔ)的狀態(tài)或特征,不帶by短語(yǔ),而被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)是表明主語(yǔ)的一個(gè)被動(dòng)動(dòng)作,可以帶by短語(yǔ)。
The job was well done. (系表結(jié)構(gòu))
The job was well done by a skilled worker. (被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài))
